2 years have passed.
I received a living teddy bear (familiar) and a special familiar contract for my third birthday.
For my fourth birthday, I received an Assassin set (familiar equipment) and a job class change (familiar).
All my attributes have grown tremendously.

I gained four spell passives: mana purity, basic mana control, perfect magic affinity, and multicast I.
Mana purity 100/100- Quadruples your magic damage and the magic penetration of all spells. Also, quintuples your mana regeneration speed.
Basic Mana Control 0.1/100- Allows you to control and manipulate mana.
Perfect Magic Affinity- Allows the user to control, manipulate, and generate all elements. Also doubles your magic resistance to all elements.
Multicast I 10/10- Allows the user to cast 10 spells simultaneously.
Grandma helped me sign a special familiar contract with the living teddy bear.
I named it Fluffy and gave it the title of Emperor of Plushies.
It equipped the Assassin set and changed its job class to assassin.
Fluffy became my first permanent familiar.
The living teddy bear has 0 attributes but after signing a special familiar contract with me; it gained half of my attributes.
"Why does Fluffy start with 0 attributes and, after signing, gained half of my attributes?"
[Fluffy is not your traditional familiar. It is a special familiar. Special familiars start with 0 attributes and then receive half of the attributes of their master. Every time Fluffy levels up, it receives half of the attributes you gain per level.]
"Can Fluffy absorb skill point books and attribute point books?"
[Yes. Fluffy can also gain attributes from exercises.]

The equipment feels like a costume since it does not give any stats, damage and armor.
I can't complain since it's a generic equipment and Fluffy look badass.
Fluffy also follows me everywhere.
The wounds in my soul are now fully healed.
My sleeping time is now normal, which is 12 hours per day in this world.
Grandma and her friends taught me and my friends 12 hours a day how to read and write the common language and the ancient dialect.
I learned to read and write the common language easily. The syntax, grammar, alphabet, it uses are similar to the English language.
I struggled to read and write the ancient dialect, as it differs vastly from any known human language.
My friends did not struggle to learn to read and write the common language and the ancient dialect.
We also explored the village. A tall wooden wall separates the village from the nearby forest. Most of the houses here are huts, farmhouses, and cottages. They are made of wood with a thatched roof.
In the middle of the village you can find a few blacksmith shops, fletcher shop, tinker shop, granary, cooper workshops, cobbler workshops, carpenter shops, forester laboratories, farrier shops, tower mills, butcher shops, brewery, public bathhouse, barber shops, hot spring bathhouse, bell tower, clock tower, warehouses, pottery shops, medical clinic, forest park, a small freshwater lake, a miniature textile factory, a watchtower, garrison, tannery, tailor shops, a ceramics factory, village hall, a small branch of the adventurer's guild, a pharmacy guild branch, a alchemy guild branch, a two-storey modern looking bank called Happy Slime bank, a giant building, and a cabbage shaped temple.
Majority of villagers live in the middle of the village.
Crops, trees, plants, herbs, dirt roads, and flowers cover 3/4 of the land in the village.
The currency they use here is steel and bronze coins.
The villagers also practice the same type of agriculture my mom is doing. Planting multiple kinds of crops and fruit-bearing trees in the same plot of land, minimal use of fertilizers, and never using pesticides and herbicides.
Today grandma and I entered the library.
"What are we doing inside the library?"
"You are already four years old, Felix. It is time for you to learn the basics of casting magic."
"What book are you searching for?"
"I am searching for The Basic Guide to Magic. Just sit here and wait for me. Don't touch anything."
I nodded.
We have a lot of books that are unpublished, and my ancestors wrote it using their own knowledge.
Most of the books here give off a sense of danger, like something powerful is trapped inside its pages.
It took a while for her to find it.
"Let's go to the living room and read this book there."
I nodded.
We sat on a sectional sofa and placed the book on a large table.
I flipped the book to page 2 to see the table of contents.
"There are 40 pages in this book. What should I read first?"
"Read chapter 1 to learn about mana control and other minor details."
I nodded and turned the page to 3.
Chapter 1 - Mana Control, Replenishment, and Capacity
Mana control is one of the most important passive spells for a mage to learn, as it allows you to manipulate mana in your environment and inside your body.
There are two types of mana control: basic and advanced.
To practice basic mana control, the first thing you need to do is concentrate, close your eyes and feel the mana stored deep inside of your body.
The next step is gathering a bit of mana and sending it to your hands.
The last step is releasing the mana you gathered into your hands to the surrounding environment.
Here are the benefits you will receive for having basic mana control:
1. You form your spells more stable. Since you can set the amount of mana that goes toward the spell, the mana flowing outside of your body to form the spell is also stable and it makes it harder for others to interrupt your spell casting.
2. You can accurately determine the amount of mana you currently have.
3. Access to more complicated spells.
4. It makes it harder for others to steal mana away from you.
5. You gather more mana efficiently from your surroundings to use for your spells, or replenish your mana capacity.
6. Faster spell casting.
7. The ability to sense the strength of your opponent from their magical aura. This has limitations, as you can not determine the full strength of someone more powerful than you.
8. The ability to hide your magical aura from others. You will have a hard time hiding it from opponents who have sharp magic sense.
9. Enchanting items, weapons, armor, etc. to make it more powerful.
10. Engraving runes to items, weapons, armor, etc. to make it more powerful.
11. Using your mana as a shield to block spells and physical attacks.
12. Modifying your spells, for example, making the spell pierce through magical defenses.
13. Creating scrolls.
14. Unlocks magic sense. This helps you sense magic aura from other people or nearby hidden spells. Anti-magic materials such as Tekrite can block magic sense.
15. Creating artifacts.
16. Creating grimoires.
17. Coating your body, weapon, armor, cloth, and shield with mana.
18. Creating contracts to tame monsters or beasts.
To unlock advanced mana control, you need to achieve 100% basic mana control on your mana capacity.
After unlocking it, you will be able to cast tier 7 and above spells, tame tier 7 and above monsters or beasts, create A tier and above artifacts, create 4 star and above grimoires, unlock awakening, and reach transcendence.
These are the multiple ways to replenish your mana: breathing air, sleeping, absorbing mana from others, eating, resting, and gathering mana from your surroundings.
The mana vessels will start developing at 3 years old and finish after you reach 4 years old.
You can increase your mana capacity by gaining more intelligence attribute.
I didn't expect how important the role it plays in the world of fantasy and magic. This is completely different from what I learned from playing games, watching anime and reading manga. It makes sense that mana control is often overlooked because it is not exciting to learn, read and watch.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Have you finished reading chapter 1?" grandma asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"We will start our basic mana control training after eating lunch. Make sure you follow the instructions."
We sat and prayed before eating lunch.
After lunch, grandma and I went to the front yard to start the training.
I followed the instructions and failed three times. It also consumed 3/4th of my mana.
"Grandma, what does basic mana control 0.1/100 mean?"
"The 0.1 represents the amount of mana you can control."
"Oh, that is why almost all of my mana simply disappeared into thin air instead of going into my hands."
I tried for the fourth time and succeeded.
Jumped up and down a few times.
Damn it. This shit ain't basic. Those mmorpg and anime make it look too easy to cast powerful spells, but in reality, you need to grind for a very long time to learn one and cast it.
My body suddenly felt heavy, and I collapsed on the ground.
I woke up in my mother's lap, and she was smiling at me.
"How did the practice go?" my mother asked.
"I succeeded on my fourth try, then lost consciousness after doing it," I replied.
She patted my head and said, "Don't be sad about it since it happened to all of us, even your grandmother experienced it."
"Even her?"
"Yes, because no one is born who has complete control over their own power. Everyone has to start from scratch to master their power."
I tried to stand up and failed since my body felt numb and weak.
"Don't try to move around since this is your first time suffering from mana exhaustion. Just lie down here and I will feed you dinner."
"What is mana exhaustion?"
"It is a condition where you exhausted your mana capacity to the point your body is weakened. Its symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, numbness, headache, chest tightness, loss of consciousness and, in extreme cases, death. It can be cured by replenishing your mana capacity."
We heard knocks from the door, and grandmother entered my room.
"Oh, you are finally awake," she said.
"You will have a new training schedule starting tomorrow. Your friends will join you. It will start at 6 am and end at 18 am. The sword training will start at 6 am and end at 7 am. Your father and your friends' fathers will be your instructors in sword training. The Bow training will start at 9 am and end at 10 am. Your mother and your friends' mothers will be your instructors in bow training. The magic training will start at 13 am and end at 18 am. Me and my friends will be your instructors in magic training.," she added.
"Can Fluffy join our training?" I asked.
"Fluffy can join you," she replied.
Grandmother closed the door and left me alone with mother.
This is one of the rare opportunities where I could bond with my mother.
"Mom, can you sleep with me and tell me a story?"
"Okay. I will be back and feed you."
It took mom a few minutes to return.
"Your dinner is roasted duck, vegetable soup and your favorite potato dishes."
"I wanna hear about your adventures while eating."
"So what do you wanna hear?"
"I wanna know how you met father and some other details about our family."
She helped me sit upright and sat in a chair beside my bed.
She placed a napkin on my lap and tucked the other into my neckline before giving me a spoonful of potato soup.
"I met your father when I was twelve and during that time I was still living in Westminster. He was with your grandmother adventuring together and they were there to exorcise a greater demon."
*cough* *cough*
She handed me a glass of water to drink.
"She is not a priest, so why would she do it?"
"As far as I could remember, the governor of the city got possessed and the adventurer's guild put up an emergency quest to address the situation quickly. The archbishop and bishop were away, and the remaining priests at the church were not strong enough to defeat it. Your grandmother fit the requirements, and she used the spell 'judgement' to obliterate the greater demon from existence. It is also one of the reason why I joined their party after seeing her strength."
"Then how did you fall in love with dad?"
"The other reason for joining their party is because of him. He was my type, and I was thrilled when he professed his love and asked me on a date."
Her face turned bright red, and she smiled affectionately.
"I thought he saved you somewhere in a dungeon and fell in love after that."
"Your grandmother was always saving his life to make sure he produced children to continue the family bloodline before he die."
She gently wiped my face with a napkin to remove the food sticking into my face.
"Did you guys became famous?"
"We are a famous party, but our faces are not well known except for a select few individuals who are close to our family. This is because of your grandmother insisted that we always use a special mask that changes the user's face while wearing it whenever we accept a quest or collect a reward in the adventurer's guild. If we go out in the public, we change into simple clothes to avoid unnecessary attention and prevent them from discovering our true identities."
"Is there a particular reason for using a special mask?"
"At that time, the demon lord's minions were tracking us, and they were using elaborate disguises to blend in."
"Why are they tracking you?"
"The demon lord who injured your grandfather was also severely injured after the fight and wanted to absorb our souls to heal his injuries and become more powerful."
"Why did you choose to settle in this village?"
"This village is located in one of the most remote region of the empire and it is also the largest village on the entire continent. Our family owns this village and everyone who lives here is our employees. The few instances they send someone important here are when they need to test 6-year-old children for their magic capability and grant them scholarship to enter the imperial magic academy."
"Are there any perks besides the scholarship?"
"They also grant you a house in the capital city and some gold coins."
"Is that the reason I need to undergo this training?"
"Yes, that is the main reason for the training. It's getting late. There are only a few bites left, so open your mouth wide."
She picked me up, entered the kitchen to wash the plates, and brushed my teeth. We went back to my room and changed my clothes into a simple brown t-shirt and pajamas.
She kissed my forehead and said, "Goodnight, Felix."
"Goodnight mom," I replied.
I hugged her tightly and slept.
"Felix!"
"Felix!"
"Five more minutes," I replied.
"Wake up now or else your grandmother will be the one who will force you out of bed," she said.
I forced myself out of bed and headed straight to the dining room. Ate my breakfast as fast as possible and went to the nearby dirt field that serves as our playground and training ground.
The weather is sunny and warm with almost no wind today.
My friends waved their hands as soon as they spot me running towards them.
"Felix, you are late," Mark said.
*pant* *pant*
I caught my breath before lining up.
"Everyone is now here. Now we can start the introduction so everyone would be familiar with your instructors. My name is Xander Wood and I am a Cherub 4 ranked adventurer. I am going to be your primary instructor while the other 5 will be my assistant instructor," Father said.
Alice raised her hand and said, "How long will this training last?"
"It starts at 6 am and ends at 7 am. Any further questions?" Father replied.
We shook our head.
"Since there are no more questions. We can now continue with the introduction," Father said.
"My name is Richard Spencer. I am a Dominion 1 ranked adventurer," the white-haired man said.
"My name is Charles Rodriguez. I am a Dominion 5 ranked adventurer," the green-haired man said.
"My name is Michael Jenkins. I am a Dominion 4 ranked adventurer," the yellow-haired man said.
"My name is Henry Dupont. I am a Dominion 3 ranked adventurer," the red-haired man said.
"My name is Andrew Vogel. I am a Dominion 2 ranked adventurer," the blue-haired man said.
"Everyone is now finished introducing their selves. Before we start our actual training, we need to do a warmup exercise for 5 minutes," Father said.
We did a warmup exercise for a few minutes.
"What kind of training are we going to do?" John asked.
He gave a small wooden sword to each one of us.
"You will be swinging this wooden sword for 10 minutes, then a break of 15 minutes. Push-ups for 10 minutes followed by another 15 minute break. The last one is running around the dirt field for 5 minutes," Father replied.
"What is the purpose of this training?" Josh asked.
"This is to improve your strength, vitality, endurance, agility, and dexterity," Henry replied.
"We don't need to do this training when we just need to use magic to defeat the enemy," Jack said.
"That is where you are wrong. You need this training so that your body can handle the stress of casting magic for long periods of time and be able to cast higher tier spells, since it places a massive toll on your body, especially the tier 7 and above spells. You also need a backup weapon in case your magic can't help you defeat the enemy," Father replied.
My friends looked at me like they want me to object to this training.
"There's nothing I could do but follow it. Grandma has already decided that we will undergo this training," I said.
"Your grandma is scary and we don't want to make her mad. So let's start the training," Alice replied.
We completed the training with no problems.
I received 30 strength, 40 endurance, 24 vitality, 25 agility, and 25 dexterity after completing the training, while Fluffy received 3 strength, 4 endurance, 3 vitality, 2 agility, and 2 dexterity.
Sat on the dirt ground and Fluffy sat on my left.
Alice approached me and said, "Can I sit beside you?"
I nodded.
She sat on my right and laid her head on my shoulder.
Her body feels soft, and she smells good, even after sweating a lot. What kind of soap or perfume does she use?
Mark, Jack, Josh and John sat in front of us.
We spent the next hour resting and waiting for the bow training.
"Everyone, get up now. It's time for your bow training to start," mom said.
We lined up in a single row and each of us got a wooden bow and a quiver full of arrows.
"Before we start our training, we will introduce ourselves first. My name is Sophia Wood and I'm a Cherub 4 ranked adventurer. I am your primary instructor and the other 6 will be my assistant instructor," mom said.
"My name is Christine Spencer. I am a Dominion 1 ranked adventurer," the short silver-haired woman said.
"My name is Charlotte Spencer. I am a Dominion 1 ranked adventurer," the long silver-haired woman said.
"My name is Richard Vogel. I am a Dominion 2 ranked adventurer," the white-haired man said.
"My name is Laura Rodriguez. I am a Dominion 5 ranked adventurer," the white-haired man said.
"My name is Gabriella Jenkins. I am a Dominion 4 ranked adventurer," the white-haired man said.
"My name is Sophia Dupont. I am a Dominion 3 ranked adventurer," the white-haired man said.
"What are we going to do with this?" Mark asked.
"You are going to hit that target using that bow," Charlotte replied.
There are 6 targets a few metres away for us to hit.
"Why is there a small red circle in the middle?" Alice asked.
"That is the area where your arrows need to hit," Christine replied.
"How long are we going to do this training?" Josh asked.
"It starts at 9 am and end at 10 am but you can take an early rest if you are tired," mom replied.
Mom drew a straight line.
"This distance should be good enough. Stand before this line," she said.
She showed us how to do it and she got a bullseye effortlessly.
We followed her instructions and started the training.
I picked up one arrow and placed it on the bow. I made sure my stance was proper, pulled the string, aimed at my target, and released.
The arrow flew and hit the target, but it was quite far from the bullseye.
It still made me happy that it hit, considering it was my first time.
I continued to fire arrows at my target until the training was over.
Almost all the arrows I fired were far from bullseye and the rest were near misses.
Looked at the targets of my friends to see how well they did.
Josh got the most bullseye followed by Mark, Alice, Jack and John.
I received 12 strength, 15 endurance, 18 vitality, and 45 dexterity after completing the training, while Fluffy got 5 strength, 7 endurance, 9 vitality, and 18 dexterity.
Mom approached me, looked at my target and said, "not bad for your first time considering you were struggling to keep your posture."
If this was a fps game, I would not miss the bullseye even with my eyes closed.
"I agree. I never learned how to use a bow even in my previous life," I replied.
"Sounds like you had a peaceful life," she said.
"It was peaceful, but it cost a lot of human lives to get it," I replied.
"I will not delve more into your previous life. So what do you think of Alice?" she asked.
"What do you mean by that, mom?" I replied.
"Do you like her?" she said.
"Yes," I replied.
I smiled and noticed Alice was looking at me. She blushed and turned around when we made eye contact.
It looks like she was listening to my conversation with mom.
"If that's the case, you should remember that having a relationship at a young age is normal here and polygamy is acceptable here," she said.
So that explains why those peasants have 2 or 3 wives.
I didn't dare ask her why father has 1 wife.
The answer was quite obvious. It is acceptable, but it does not mean everyone practices it.
"Mom, training is now finished. What should we do next?" I asked.
"Everyone could take a rest or play while waiting for lunchtime," she replied.
My friends and Fluffy sat near me.
"I won our bet since I got the most bullseye," Josh said.
"You just got lucky. Next time, I would beat you and leave you in the dust," Jack replied.
"That will never happen," Josh said.
"What was your bet?" I asked.
"Whoever got the most bullseye decides where we eat lunch. Since I won, we will eat lunch at Felix's house until we finish our training," Josh replied.
"Why would you make that kind of bet?" I asked.
"You never invited us to eat lunch at your house. It also made us curious what food do you eat?" Mark replied.
"Prepare to be disappointed then," I said.
"How much time do we have before lunch?" John asked.
"Two hours," Alice replied.
We rested for one hour, then spent the rest of our time playing football in the makeshift football field.
My mother called us to eat lunch and I can't wait for their disappointed faces.
The table was big enough to accommodate my five friends and my family.
They got disappointed when they saw that almost all the dishes served are potato dishes and vegetables. They were fortunate that we got roasted wild boar for lunch today because father managed to hunt one.
We went straight to the dirt field after eating lunch to wait for the next training.
"What should we expect from your grandmother's training?" Alice asked.
"Difficult," I replied.
"Why do you think so?" Mark asked.
"The previous trainings we had was easy, and we were not pushed to our limits," I replied.
"I guess we should wait for your grandmother and rest here," Josh said.
"I agree with Josh," John replied.
We patiently waited for an hour for grandmother to start our training.
"Get up now and keep a three metre distance from each other," grandmother said.
We followed her instructions, and she gave us a wooden novice staff.
"We will not do an introduction since all of you know us. Instead, you will touch this white orb to measure your mana control," grandmother said.
We followed her instructions.
Me and Fluffy got a 0.1% mana control while my friends got a 1% mana control.
Damn, I even had a head start, and it still remained at 0.1%.
"What time does our training start and end?" Jack asked.
"It starts at 13 am and ends at 18 am," grandma replied.
"What is this wooden novice staff for?" I asked.
"To help you gather mana, control mana flow, and form magic circles a lot quicker. So your mana control progress will be a lot faster," Henry replied.
I equipped the novice staff with my right hand.
It does not have any stats.
"What should we do if we run out of mana while practicing?" I asked.
"Don't worry, we will refill your mana to speed up progress and not wait for it to fill on its own, as it takes one day or longer," Aubrey replied.
"What are we going to do for our training?" Alice asked.
"Felix, demonstrate what you did last time in practicing mana control, but this time you release your mana with the help of the staff," grandmother said.
I remembered the instructions on the book and followed them, but this time I gathered it using the staff and released it.
It was a lot faster compared to doing it without a staff.
The color of my mana is dark blue with some black mix in it.
"Felix, how did you do that?" Mark asked.
"I concentrated, close my eyes, and feel the mana stored deep inside my body. Then you gather a bit of your mana to the staff and release it into the environment," I replied.
My friends and Fluffy followed my instructions and succeeded in their first try.
I am a bit jealous that they did not struggle.
"Felix, can you tell me what the color of their mana is?" grandmother asked.
"Alice got a red color, Jack got green, Josh got blue, Mark got brown and John got white," I replied.
"That is right. Can you describe their magical auras while practicing mana control?" grandmother asked.
"Their auras were calm then, it made multiple waves and returned to normal," I replied.
"What else did you notice about magical auras?" grandmother asked.
"Magical auras are unique to each individual and the color of their magical auras depends on the color of their mana. They differ in size, shape, and concentration," I replied.
"That is correct. Nathan will now explain what is a magical aura, so listen carefully," grandmother said.
We nodded.
"Magical aura is a small portion of the user's total mana that is constantly emitted from the body. The more mana you have, the stronger it is. It contains information like how strong they are, age, race, mana control, etc. There are two types of magical aura: flowing river and Stillwater," Nathan said.
"What is it like to have a flowing river aura?" I asked.
"Flowing river auras are affected by emotions, the volume of mana the individual owns, the amount of mana flowing outside the body. It creates 'waves' that an opponent with good magic sense or someone like Felix can detect. The stronger they are, the more powerful auras they emit, and the bigger the wave they produce," grandmother replied.
"How about the Stillwater aura?" Alice asked.
"Stillwater auras are rare. It can be inherited or unlocked through mastering advanced mana control. Individuals with this type of aura are mistaken for having no talent in magic, since they emit extremely weak auras that are hard to see or sense. Unlike the flowing river aura, the aura it produces does not get stronger over time compared to the strength of the user. It will also remain calm even if the user feels intense emotions and whether or not the individual is casting spells," grandmother replied.
"What does magical aura do besides that?" I asked.
"If you become powerful, the pressure of your magical aura will also rise. You can concentrate it on an individual or area to immobilize or crush them similar to a gravity manipulation spell. Some very powerful and highly skilled aura manipulators can shape their auras to tiger, lion, bear etc. to intimidate others or even change the temperature of the environment," Vanessa replied.
My friends turned their attention to me.
"You can see mana and the magical aura of others?" Alice asked.
"Yes," I replied.
They stared at my eyes for quite some time and gave up.
"Even if you stared at his eyes for a long time, you won't see it because you are not born with that skill and it is a hereditary skill passed down generation to generation," grandmother said.
"Then how are you able to see when there is mana everywhere?" John asked.
"I could turn it on and off whenever I want. You will notice that my eye color changes from blue to silver," I replied.
I switched to my eye of abyss and back to normal.
"Why not spend time practicing mana control instead of wasting it on talking with each other?" grandmother said.
We went back to our positions and practiced mana control. We only stopped to eat snacks at 3 am or waiting for them to refill our mana.
"Your training is now over since it is now 18 am," grandmother said.
"Did we improve a lot?" Josh asked.
"I don't know. If you wanted to know, then touch the white orb again," grandmother replied.
We touched it again. My mana control improved to 4.3%. Fluffy improved to 2.8%. Alice improved to 3.9%. Mark improved to 2.9%. Jack improved to 2.6%. Josh improved to 3.1%. John improved to 2.7%.
Feels good to see your skill improve faster than everyone.
"When will we learn how to cast spells?" John asked.
"You will learn how to cast spells after everyone achieved 100% basic mana control. After that, everyone needs to master how to create magic circles before you learn to cast magic spells," grandmother replied.
Everyone returned home to eat dinner.
End of Chapter 3.
